Northern Gravy A Literary Periodical About There’s a big beat building in the North. Can you feel it? From Northern Soul to Rock and Roll, the North’s always been at the heart of things. It’s a humble place, but not to be underestimated. Everywhere you turn there’s something cooking. From the butty shop comes the cutting edge. From the land of the Dark Satanic Mills come an army wielding quills. We’re writers, we’re artists, we’re thinkers and doers. We make it reyt and keep it great. We’ve a keen eye for a turn of phrase, and there’s nowt like us for telling it like it is.And Gravy? Can you think of anything more Northern?We’re Northern Gravy. A new, exciting, dynamic organisation dedicated to bringing to light the excellence of new writing. We want to shine a light on the undiscovered, the unknown and the overlooked, and give courage to those who want to try their hand at writing. We carry that northern work ethic into everything we do, and we believe in good pay for hard work, so we pay our writers. Every quarter, we aim to put out an online periodical showcasing the very best and brightest of new talents, and we want to put you in it.
